I hate how all of the new Trek shows seem so intent on subverting/dismantling the hopeful and utopian world of Star Trek.
Like, at least to me, the whole point of Star Trek is that while we have no shortage of pessimistic dystopian Sci-Fi, there’s painfully few major properties that paint a hopeful picture for the future. Star Trek was always an aspirational look at humanity to me; the new shows seem so focused on being tense and dramatic that they forget they’re supposed to have that aspirational quality.
I’ve had similar experience. I wanted to resub after a year of D+ and Prime. Guess I’ll stick to Paramount+ and binge nutrek shit.

Not much of a future to believe in these days.
